A good pilot will know whathe /she' up against and adjust accordingly

The damage mod is really fun for killing tanks or catching dropships by surprise but without being able to maintain elevation I find no AB Incubus fits always fall short in dogfights. But, considering how little competition is in the air these days, that seems to be less of a weakness now.

it works great if you know how to boom n zoom.

1) attack from a higher altitude: climb well above before your attack run
2) maintain speed: do not turn sharply enough to where your stick shudder30
3) use that speed to climb and get the altitude advantage again

I have other fits depending on the threat level, but this works great most of the time against anything but your proto incubus

I am a tad biased just cuz I take pride in not getting taken off guard too much by other Incubus pilots, I get VERY upset with myself if I get much into armor from a surprise attack. I do the same thing these days with swarms as prolific as they are, I circle around at mid to high altitude, check the skies for threats, then find a nice juicy target and dive.

It is definitely a shame how many less pilots there are these days, I for one think it's the one thing that makes this game special, but again, complete ******* bias I assure you.

Operative 1174 Uuali True Companion Planetary Requisitions 1	Posted - 2016.01.09 14:43:00 - [1] - Quote I haven't played in over a month and my memory recall isn't what it used to be. I don't even remember if the ADS has one or two off slots. The following is either true or I'm thinking of my tank off slots. Pretty sure I'm thinking right about two off slots. INCUBUS 2 enhanced scanners Complex Light Armor Repairer 2 Complex or Enhanced Armor Hardeners Lol plates Any standard turret, even blaster when I just want to laugh and have fun. A blaster may not hit worth a damn, but it still forces people to move. Great constant area of denial fire. Still scares people off rooftops. You've got to strafe back and forth to actually register a hit. No kills, but plenty of pants wetting action. I constantly move and circle around and fly in and out to evade. The afterburner really doesn't do me any good. PYTHON 2 Enhanced or Complex Shield Hardeners Complex scanner Complex Powergrid Upgrade Armor plate - you wouldn't believe what this thing has done for survival. I then rep up at a depot or use a rep tool. AT-1 Missile Launcher, but usually a standard launcher. I have seen no difference other than fitting. I use speed and constant movement to evade fire.

Yeah, CCP made this game even more a situation where support fire amd mobility mean nothing ro just spawning and camping the objectives. The idea of beinging tanks and other support to the objective to cause an escalation by the other team didn't work. I agree with that to some extent because ai like to play a specific thing and hate to swap up just to power play a win. On the other hand it makes people whine and they just don't escalate with counters so things get nerfed. Since isk and sp is a factoe it only added to the non-event which is escalation. I stopped caring about PC when I saw how easy it was for people to lock everybody out and keep an elitist attitude for who gets to play. CCP logic GÇô We fix what doesn't need breaking.

So long as you don't stick around too long swarms usually won't kill you, though getting tossed into buildings is still a thing. PLC is only a threat if I'm hovering and I generally just assume I'm going to get one shot by a railgun when I hover lol. You've got to do a test run and test the situation as the match progresses, then come around and do a hover strike if all seems clear. CCP logic GÇô We fix what doesn't need breaking.
